Brief fact of the case is that, Ration Card bearing No. 17012211062 was granted in favour of Complainant. In the year 2015 and cancelled on 15.01.2017.

Previously one Antodaya Arna Yojana (AAY) card bearing No. 17012211403 was issued in the name of the family member of the Petitioner. After enquiry of Sarapanch of Nial Gram Panchayat has submitted a written statement that if one AAY ration card was issued in a family, then no separte additional ration card could not be issued to the same family. After detection of the said irregularities, the Block Authority mighty had cancelled the ration card of the Petitioner in the year 2017.
